DOLORES:   Happy Saturday, everybody.  I am Dolores. I am happy to be here in 
your presence, in the beauty, joy of your lives.  How creative is Our 
Essence, and the universe in which we live!

In the abundance of possibility is the horn of plenty -- colors, tastes, 
sounds, smells, textures -- senses are all a part of a pattern of your lives 
-- much like a box of crayola colors or a sewing box of thread/ cord/ twine/ 
yarn and other textiles -- to weave into the fabric of your lives.  

Expand your sense!  Examine your understanding of sense.   
       A dark cloud, a gloomy day, is akin to a grey attitude, one without 
color, one without enthusiasm.  A crowd of people also can represent a 
palette of color or sensation.  There is so much to be learned about the 
universe through the senses.  These powerful influences on your sense of 
well-being will be a part of your personality composition forever, even as it 
expands to include an explosion of yet more and varied senses as you climb 
the ladder toward perfection.

But for now, little ones, 
    like children larking on a summer day, 
plunge into the sense of wonder 
    which is your mortal life.

If you have found your mortal life to be on such an even keel as to depict 
only neutral colors, change some of your patterns in order to bring in some 
accent.  A monotone may on one hand invoke a meditative state, as intonation 
of chanting, but it can also be an indication of a tediously dull mental rut 
of brown and morose depression. Thus, add a little tinkle, a little toot, to 
your monotone.

In embellishing the pattern of your lives with a sprig of peppermint here or 
a branch of fruit blossoms there you have altered your environment, and often 
in altering your environment in your mind you are impressed again with your 
environment as you live it, seeing anew the common everyday miracles of life.

Our Divine Parents are the quintessential Creators.  They are the ones who 
are having fun, and they have even created those points of gravity and power 
that uphold the universe, much like your inventions and high-technology in 
fact uphold your many soirees into creativity, thus allowing your mind/ heart 
an opportunity again to probe around in the recesses of reality in order to 
come up with yet another greeting card for your fellows or a post card of the 
Supreme for your own enjoyment.

Just as a sprig of the current blossom or the taste of the fruit in season 
will give you a sense of continuity, so will an exotic off-color or abstract 
tone lend new dimension to that which has become familiar and customary.  

As an exercise, I'd like for you to consider the associates of your immediate 
era, your current sociology – the people you interact with: your family and 
friends, your contemporaries and associates.  How many of these individuals 
are you able to communicate with readily?  And to what degree?  To what 
extent?  To what depth?  To what purpose?

The Master used parables often in his dealings with his associates in order 
to convey a reality essence in the face of the incredible differences in each 
individual's psychic composition.  You can add another dimension to your 
relationships by breaking out of the mold of logic and linear reasoning, the 
typical responses of custom and convention, by adding a creative touch that 
will change the look of the environment you share with your associates, even 
in the environment of your mental rapport or your emotional connection.  You 
thus give new life to your environment and bring new and refreshing vistas to 
the mind's eye of your associates, even new dimensions of awareness, by your 
use of adding a dimension of the senses to your routine mental exchanges, 
social exchanges.

Those of you who have been with the Teachers for a decade, those of you who 
have sat at the feet of the teachers and humbly absorbed, like a dry sponge, 
the living waters that come forth, spewing from Our Father through the 
personalities of the Teacher Corp and through the mouths of the many T/R's 
who yearn to serve – your lives are altered eternally as a result of the 
stimuli that has come to you through this simple experience of learning to 
listen with ears to hear.  

The sensitivity of your new perception invites a knowledge of otherness, 
other views, of infinity and finitude.  You thus can learn to see with eyes 
to see as a result of hearing and being stirred within.  Your vistas are 
altered now because of the perspective you are able to grasp and sustain as 
you go about your lives.

It is often difficult, it is sometimes impossible, to introduce a 
conversation, a concept that will bring relief, ease the fears, soften the 
edges, appeal to the childlike nature, of the people you encounter.  Even 
emotionally individuals are frequently unavailable, and so the common, human 
touch of empathy and compassion is thwarted, and so we look farther and 
deeper for still other ways to make a connection, to reach our fellow men, to 
let them know the Father is in their lives if they but notice.  

And sometimes the simple act of touching another is a way of making supreme 
contact.  A tone of voice is able to speak volumes.  The color you choose to 
wear is a message.  The flavor of your attitude is able to be tasted by those 
who you encounter and so you will be recognized as to how you feel, and if 
you are bitter, or sweet, if your attitude is salty or creamy, it will be an 
effective method of communicating to another sentient creature what words may 
not be able to convey.

I offer a new understanding of your senses as language, as creative artistry. 
 If you can begin to express yourself in and through your personality you may 
find that you your Self are a master, an artist, a skilled artisan, in ways 
that only you and your Divine Guide can realize, but that all who pass by you 
will retain as a part of the creative expression of you in conjunction with 
Divinity.

Our Creator has no limitations on possibilities.  I invite you to expand your 
appreciation of your creative possibilities and take authority over your 
Self, your approach to service, to ministry, to personality expression, by 
giving yourself permission to be an extension of the Creator in and through 
his creativity as it can be understood by the mortal creatures of time and 
space -- your children, your spouse, your neighbors, your co-workers -- 
bringing the reality of divinity even further into your arena through 
conscious effort, conscientious effort in awareness and artistry.

I would like to engage with others.  I would like to have a classroom filled 
with students, each having a box in which his and her creative tools are 
brought into company with others, for in this way it is possible for 
stimulation to occur such that each of you can look to your friend and 
neighbor and see there, in their box of tools, a perspective on the contents 
that may not be apparent to its owner, and in fellowship of sharing, it is 
exciting – It is pink and yellow! It is lime green! – to see how a simple 
idea can ascend to new heights of ecstasy and excitement in and through the 
creative imagination.

Have you been conditioned to believe that creativity is for a certain type of 
individual but not for you?  Have you been conditioned to believe that it is 
an impractical pass time?  Inefficient, ineffectual, impractical?  Have you 
been taught that your creative nature is frivolous? Superfluous? Childish? 
That it is an attempt to avoid responsibility? A good excuse to be a 
perpetual player?  And that creativity is not work?  Is without value?

What a travesty!  This is tantamount to saying that God is not loving, is not 
joyous, is not radiant, but is indeed a stern judge, a hard task master, a 
jealous and demanding disciplinarian.  But none of those descriptive 
adjectives are my Parent!  I do not resemble such an entity and I am my 
Father's daughter.  I recognize when I am like my Father, when my nature is 
in tune with the harmony of the spheres.  I recognize how my energies are 
compatible to the Divine in the exquisite dance that we engage in as we brush 
upon the air of our union.

I urge you to see beyond the veil of your culture and your training if your 
training has taught you to "grow up!" and leave your childlike nature behind. 
 It is an encouraged elective in the Melchizedek Universities, the 
opportunity to spend a thousand years in company with the celestial artisans, 
in order for you to augment your understand-ing of a creative nature.  It is 
as essential a curriculum as it is to learn to parent, in terms of 
understanding how the nature of God is visited upon his sons and daughters.

Once you have learned to play together, it will be possible then for you to 
learn how to work together.  Communication is such a critical art form, and 
your rational minds, your adult intentions, and your assumption of your own 
maturity - not to mention your perception of your own authority - are enough 
to cramp your toes as your feet grow out of the shoes that were fitted on you 
for ages long past.  Your creativity has become crippled by the binding of 
restraints upon your childlike nature with its plethora of creative potential.

"Creator, On High, I implore you to come into the souls of your children with 
all the senses given them in the initial pattern.  Invite them to realize how 
wondrous is this human experience which is made more wonderful by the senses 
allowed and encouraged by You, beloved Parent.  Through your creative nature 
You have created the vast hosts of space; You have created more personalities 
and depictions of perfection than we have capacity to understand, but we 
fully appreciate and adore Your wonders to behold.  Give our simple hearts 
and minds to realize the goodness inherent in Your creative nature and let us 
feel free to make it our own.  Help us to portray You, Father-Mother, as You 
portray YourSelves in the fields of daisies, the singing winds in treetops, 
the smell of salt sea air in front of the pounding surf.  Give us to 
appreciate our own creative natures and help us to portray You in our own 
rendition of what gifts you have given us, Your delightful children, who 
yearn to honor You and reveal You to others, that they too may learn anew the 
joys of being Yours."
